What is Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS)?

[@cooldesertbreeze23]

Thank You. Good info. I am 58. I had a DVT on New Years 2024 which turned into PE (pulmonary embolisms) in the lungs. I now take Warfarin. I am just trying to learn more about this disease as it's all very new to me.

I was diagnosed with APS when I was 22, after having 2 strokes. I'm 33 now, this is my first time actually learning what this is. Great video!

[@DifferentStrokesUK]

Wow, I am so sorry this was never explained to you. So glad the video has helped!

[@IrvinTimeBW]

@@DifferentStrokesUK well, they vaguely told me it was a blood courting disorder, but nothing more. I could of asked more questions but, given that I became blind brevete of the stones, I don't think I ever thought about it.... I guess I just never felt the need. But I'm glad I decided to search KZbin for a video. It helped answer some quotations I've had for a few years.

I've have APS and have had DVT starting at 9 years old and pulmonary embolisms and so for 34 years! 5 months ago the doctor tells me its time for chemotherapy. To which I said no way, been there, done that. Finally figured out it's diet!!! I went 100% organic, no red meat, gluten, dairy, nightshade vegetables, caffeine, and highly processed foods. I've seen more progress in 5 months than in my entire life of various treatments!!!!! If you have APS, it's diet × genetics!!!!!

Do you have the lupus anticoagulant APS,, I have APSLA and I don't understand the difference in any of them but with c-19 around I looked at a lot of medical studies and apparently the APSLA is the same antibody as the vax.. Just wondering if you had the lupus one

[@Wildewhitley]

@@jefferygambill1783 I don't have the lupus anticoagulant.

[@jefferygambill1783]

@@Wildewhitley oh, okay thanks 👍

[@debstayblessed9549]

Straight to the point. Clearly explained. Thank you! I take warfarin. Test regularly blood test INR 2.0-3.0. Also, diet is so important. Excellent information especially treatment prevention.

I have APS, as do my 3 siblings. I take warfarin. They each take Eliquiss instead of warfarin.

My mum was mis diagnosed . She was treated for Polycythemia Vera ….but in fact she had APS , sadly it was diagnosed in the late stages and she died of a PE . I had the test and it came back mildly positive ( I then had a further test a few weeks later , again mildly positive ) my GP said don’t worry about it unless you suffer a clotting incident . I do suffer from a number of symptoms , such as tiredness , memory fog and dizziness . Should I be concerned ?

[@DifferentStrokesUK]

Can a vaccine trigger this?

[@NattieD911]

That’s what I think. Vaccine injury

I had seizures last year and was diagnosed with cvst. B2gp1 was +ve for 1st time i tested but after that the test was negative after 12 weeks. So do i have aps?

[@DifferentStrokesUK]

Hi Shivam, I am afraid we are not medically trained. It may be worth contacting your healthcare provider or APS UK.

1 in 2,000 people get APS, not very common.
